Google Analytics
Google Analytics is a traffic analysis and reporting tool for web sites. It will tell you how much traffic you have, which pages are visited, where visitors come from, what country they are from and much, much more.
Google Analytics is available in all packages.
We have implemented a module to make it much easier to add Google Analytics into your web site. Not only is it easy to do, it also adds some functionality to Google Analytics that isn't in the native JavaScript implementation of the service that you will hopefully find interesting and effective.
Before using this tool, you must do is go to Google Analytics and register for an account. Once you get your account and set up your domain, your domain will be assigned an account number for each domain you register, each account number will begin with "UA-". You will need that number later on.
To set it up, go to "Administer > Site configuration > Google Analytics". The account number mentioned previously that begins with "UA-" needs to be inserted into the very first form field you see in the Google Analytics.
The other options can be used with the default settings, you could just submit the configuration now, however, I will discuss the other options briefly, as the module itself explains much of it as well.
Additional Settings
This module allows the options of tracking visitors or not by default, and whether or not to let individual visitors set whether they want to be tracked or not. It also allows tracking by roles and has a filter to opt out certain pages from tracking. By default, the module wisely filters out administration pages, user pages and adding and editing content pages from being tracked, which is good since those are pages you know are administrators and likely are not really worth keeping numbers on.
Google Analytics can also segment visitors by reporting by individual aspects of users, in addition to IP, also roles or other information. You can also choose to track exit links, mailto links, download links and even what types of downloads to track.
For further details refer to the module itself, it is pretty well documented within the configuration form.
